Using Mayk's footage as a reference, Luciano Tigre traveled to the area where the object was reportedly observed hovering above a forested ridgeline. During the visit, he documented the terrain, identified the section of the landscape where the object appeared, and compared the location to the original footage.

Translated transcript summary:

• Luciano explains that the area is remote, heavily wooded, and potentially dangerous to access due to steep cliffs, deep fissures, unstable ground, dense vegetation, and wildlife.
• He repeatedly stresses that people should not attempt to visit the location without proper experience and preparation.
• Using Mayk's house as a reference point, he identifies the section of the ridgeline where the object appeared to be hovering during the sighting.
• He states that the object would have been positioned over a heavily forested area beyond the ridge.
• He documents the terrain from multiple vantage points and notes that the location is difficult to access safely.
• While surveying the area, he does not identify any structure, road, settlement, or feature that immediately stands out to him as a likely explanation for the reported light.
• He points out a small number of trees that appear unusual from a distance and speculates that they may be burned or damaged, but immediately notes that seasonal changes could also explain their appearance and that he cannot draw any conclusions.
• He notes that the area was unusually quiet during his visit and mentions that he did not hear any birds while he was there.
• Luciano states that he is generally skeptical and only became interested in UFOs after witnessing aerial phenomena that he personally struggled to explain through his aviation experience.
• Throughout the video, he emphasizes that he is not trying to generate hype or encourage people to trespass or search the area themselves.

The footage provides a ground-level look at the area where the object was reportedly observed and serves as a follow-up investigation into the sighting.

Original sighting summary:

A man in Campo Largo, Paraná, Brazil documented a series of unusual events on his rural property through a lengthy sequence of Instagram stories that are currently going viral across Brazil.

He states that UFOs are not his usual subject matter and explains that he primarily works with animal rescue and farm animals. Throughout the stories, he repeatedly emphasizes that documenting unusual aerial phenomena is not the type of content he normally creates.

According to him, the incident began earlier in the day when birds, horses, goats, dogs, and other animals on the property became unusually alert and agitated. He recorded the animals' reactions as they focused on areas near the woods and pasture, prompting him to investigate. He initially suspected that a person or animal might be on the property.

Later, he recorded a series of strange sounds coming from the surrounding woods and near his home. He describes the sounds as metallic, growling, scraping, and similar to a rope under tension. At various points, he compares the noise to a rope stretching, a rope snapping, someone choking, breathing, or a metallic vibration. He states that the sound did not resemble any known animal he was familiar with and describes it as one of the most disturbing aspects of the experience.

He also noted unusual activity in the sky earlier in the day, including numerous aircraft and contrails visible across the region, which he wondered might be connected to the later events.

As darkness fell, he recorded a large illuminated object hovering above a nearby mountain and river area. He repeatedly states that the object appeared stationary and remained visible for more than twenty minutes. According to his account, the object was positioned directly above a remote stretch of river and forest where there were no roads, houses, settlements, visible human activity, or known sources of light. He repeatedly emphasized that nobody lived in the area beneath the object and rejected suggestions that it could be a party, event, or other conventional light source.

He describes the object as round, eye-shaped, or disc-shaped, metallic gray in color, thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges. According to his description, it was surrounded by numerous flashing lights displaying blue, green, yellow, orange, turquoise, and red colors. He states that the object emitted no audible sound despite its apparent size and estimated it to be approximately 60–80 meters in length.

He later produced a sketch of the object based on what he observed. In his drawing, he depicts a metallic eye-shaped craft with multicolored lights arranged around its perimeter and a glowing red circular opening, ball, or hole on its underside. He repeatedly emphasizes that the red feature was one of the most noticeable details of the object.

After the main sighting faded from view, he reported seeing a massive red-lit object near the river. He claims the object appeared in the river area before later passing over his property and disappearing. He describes the object as enormous, red in color, and unlike any conventional aircraft he had previously seen.

Throughout his Instagram stories, he repeatedly expressed fear, confusion, amazement, and shock. At various points he states that he believed he was witnessing something extraordinary and struggled to find conventional explanations for what he observed. He repeatedly stated that he did not believe the object was an airplane, drone, helicopter, balloon, or other ordinary aircraft.

He states that he has experienced unusual events before, but says this was the first time he had been able to record and share one so extensively. He repeatedly acknowledged that many people may be skeptical of his account but maintained that he was accurately reporting what he observed.

He later stated that he works as a nurse and emphasized that he had no financial incentive to fabricate the story, noting that this type of content is unrelated to his normal social media activity. He also describes the experience as one of the most beautiful, extraordinary, and life-changing things he has ever witnessed.

Daytime reference and comparison

Original UFO video

The object looked to be rotating rapidly and pulsing while stationary, then moving randomly left and right in a controlled line, and makes a big movement at 0:40.

This was spotted in March 2024 at 4:48pm in St Clair while I was outside helping my mum clean the pool. The weather was calm and not windy. We both noticed the shiny object a few minutes earlier and it disappeared, but around 10 minutes later it reappeared in the same area and I managed to capture this before my phone ran out of space. By the time I cleared space on my phone and looked back up, it was gone.

This video was shot at 60 FPS on my iPhone Pro.

Time: 4:48pm Location: St Clair, Sydney, Australia

President Donald Trump’s administration has done something unprecedented.

It has committed itself to UFO transparency, putting its weight and authority behind a series of intriguing files, images and videos.

Some were previously unclassified.

Others were previously classified.

Since its launch on Friday 8 May, the WAR.GOV/UFO website, hosting the files, has received nearly 500 million hits as of 14 hours ago.

We now expect the next batch of material, in what appears to be an ongoing process.

Transparency advocate Representative Tim Burchett has promised a “holy crap” moment.

He, along with other prominent lawmakers, including Eric Burlison and Anna Paulina Luna, is pressing for the release of 46 videos that could shift public opinion and embarrass the political and media elites who have so far sneered at the first batch of disclosures.

But behind the optimism, several distinct groups of sources have told Liberation Times that the first release falls far short of what real disclosure would require.

Despite promising signs and intent, sources tell Liberation Times that they have been left unimpressed and that the public must now stand up and demand more.

On the quality of the material released so far, an intelligence source familiar with collection systems told Liberation Times that future imagery and video releases must come from national systems, rather than tactical systems with lower security classifications.

They said:

‘The video footage that has been released came from tactical military systems with lower security classifications. What has not been released was collected by the national systems controlled by the National Reconnaissance Office and CIA, deployed in sensitive areas where no U.S. or allied presence is publicly acknowledged.’

The source suggested that the CIA’s clandestine collection capabilities may have captured scientific data relating to UFOs.

They also claimed that more substantial disclosure could come from space-based electro-optical reconnaissance platforms, operated by the National Reconnaissance Office.

The systems were not designed to monitor UFOs, but the source said such objects have likely appeared within their frames.

The lack of analytical context has also caused frustration among people familiar with how such material would normally be assessed inside government.

Adding to frustrations, President Trump posted on Truth Social that ‘the people can decide for themselves.’

One source added:

‘These files do not include the finished intelligence analyses produced by various departments and agencies. Those finished analyses would be classified and require review by the original classification authority before release.’

Liberation Times understands from another source that members of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, who are aware of classified UFO information, may have expected fuller analytical context from the Trump administration.

According to a person familiar with those expectations, the released documents were not regarded as disclosure.

Furthermore, there are fears that files may have been planted in the release to discredit the topic.

Another source who spoke to Liberation Times was baffled as to why the files included multiple FBI records but no content from the Department of Homeland Security, whose responsibilities include countering drone threats to the homeland.

This is seen as a big omission, as UFOs are consistently misidentified as drones and vice versa.

Several intelligence and defense sources told Liberation Times that, in their view, UFO disclosure would mean:

An explicit acknowledgement that the U.S. has recovered vehicles and bodies of non-human origin, potentially including living beings

An acknowledgement that the U.S. government has entered into cooperative agreements with non-human entities, and has used their assistance to understand and adapt exotic technologies.

Three sources have claimed to Liberation Times that the Trump administration is facing resistance in its quest to release more substantial information by figures linked to the CIA.

One person allegedly providing resistance, according to those sources, is Aaron Lukas, Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence.

Lukas previously worked for the CIA, serving as an intelligence analyst and later as a Station Chief, a title usually associated with a substantial operational career. Much of his work with the Agency remains classified.

But he was previously described as a foreign service officer with the Department of State during this period. However, official records indicate that he was employed by the CIA from April 2004 onward, first as an analyst and then as an operations officer.

His official biography reads:

‘A seasoned intelligence professional and former CIA Chief of Station, PDDNI Lukas has managed sensitive clandestine programs that have significantly impacted US national security.  

‘He is certified in the CIA's most advanced tradecraft and has conducted covert operations and managed liaison relationships around the globe, leveraging his unique training and foreign language skills.’

Politico recently reported that Lukas is seen as a favourite to lead the Office of the Director of National Intelligence if his current boss, Tulsi Gabbard, who has publicly advocated for greater UFO transparency, leaves her position.

The director of the Pentagon’s UFO office, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, must report to Lukas and Steve Feinberg, who is the deputy secretary of war.

Publicly, Lukas welcomed the first batch of files released by the Department of War, commenting on X:

‘A historic UAP declassification effort is underway thanks to@POTUS.

‘We appreciate the Intelligence Community professionals, Department of War personnel, and others across the USG who are devoting their time and resources to this enormous, complex task. This administration is delivering unprecedented transparency for the American people.’

But sources have told Liberation Times that they suspect Lukas is working within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence in a way that protects CIA interests, including elements they believe may be opposed to President Trump’s UFO transparency directive.

These sources specifically pointed to the Weapons and Counterproliferation Mission Center and the Directorate of Science and Technology, which they allege have historically been among the CIA components most closely involved in the analysis and retrieval of UFOs.

Matthew Ford, host of the Good Trouble Show, who is familiar with the allegations surrounding Lukas, alleged to Liberation Times that Lukas is assisting both the CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency:

“Based on more than a year of reporting and multiple source threads with visibility into ODNI, Lukas is doing favors for senior CIA and Defense Intelligence Agency officers to block Trump officials, including his own boss DNI Tulsi Gabbard, from getting the UFO legacy program under control. 

“He is literally undermining Tulsi. This is not slow-walking the file releases. This is the deep state in its purest form. Career intelligence officers locking down a classified program that should be under the lawful authority of the political appointees confirmed to run it. The pattern is consistent across multiple independent threads. The file releases are surface. The control of the legacy program is the real question.”

Another source told Liberation Times that the public, Congress and the President must take a stand by demanding greater transparency, while calling out those who resist such efforts.

The source also posed the following question:

“If the U.S.government is seeing all these strange things around the globe and cannot explain them, why are other nations, like the United Kingdom and Australia, not being up front with their own citizens? It’s clear now that there is a global cover-up.”
